Sonic presence and spectral technology
Kevin P. Walker, Oliver Smith, Francesco Tacchini · Archive of research processes and output produced by RCA (Royal College of Art) · 2016
We describe a series of artistic research experiments, each investigating and illustrating aspects of presence phenomena. In each, we utilise digital technologies to invert the prevailing academic approach to presence, with the intention not to teleport a person to another place but to draw attention to unseen phenomena in the here and now, specifically through sound. Our work is grounded in theories of experience, mediation and context, and we follow a methodology merging design practice with computational thinking.
